The Peniche family is a dynasty of Mexican actors who have starred in major Televisa telenovelas. Patriarch Arturo Peniche established himself as a major talent, paving the way for his youngest son, Brandon Peniche, to break ratings records with his latest telenovela 'Las hijas de la señora García.' However, their relationship with the network has not always been smooth.
Brandon made his acting debut in 1998 with a brief but notable role in 'Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real,' the anthology series created by the late Silvia Pinal. His first official Televisa telenovela came in 2009 with 'Verano de Amor,' produced by Pedro Damián.
This project helped him grow as an actor and secure roles for nearly a decade.
However, not everything went smoothly from there. In 2019 Arturo shocked fans by announcing his sudden departure from Televisa.
Initially reluctant to share details, he moved on to TV Azteca, hosting 'Venga La Alegría.' Two years later, he opened up during an Instagram Q&A, revealing, "I left because I felt stagnant, unappreciated, and I have no regrets."
While acknowledging that Televisa launched his career, he also noted disappointing experiences. The breaking point came in 2016 while filming 'Un Camino Hacia el Destino' alongside Paulina Goto, a project that didn't meet his expectations.
"They promised me things that never happened, and I was coming off a huge success with 'A Que No Me Dejas,'" he added.
Brandon's return to Televisa
Brandon Peniche eventually returned to Televisa in 2021 to star in 'Contigo Sí,' a role that revitalized his career and positioned him as a leading face of the new generation.
Though details about his return are still unclear, it's clear new agreements were made. Following this, he landed consecutive lead roles in 'Nadie Como Tú' (2023) and 'La Historia de Juana' (2024), both of which were hits.
This momentum led him to be cast by José Alberto Castro as the lead in his adaptation of the Turkish telenovela 'Mrs. Fazilet and Her Daughters,' renamed, 'Las Hijas de la Señora García.'
In it, he plays Arturo Portilla, a "free-spirited womanizer transformed by love." The telenovela, which ended on Sunday, March 2, proved to be a massive success, performing better in ratings than the hit reality TV series 'La Casa de los Famosos.'
